The Flavor of Responsibility: Pairing Alcohol with Culinary Experiences

In Washington, D.C., where diplomacy meets dining and every meal tells a story, alcohol is more than a beverage; it’s a flavor enhancer, a cultural connector, and a tool for culinary artistry. This panel explores how hospitality tastemakers use spirits, wine, and cocktails to elevate the dining experience while championing responsible drinking and hospitality principles.

A reception will follow on the rooftop overlooking our nation’s capital starting at 4:30PM.
